Africa-Press – Angola. Angola and Indonesia strengthened cooperation in the field of Constitutional Justice, with the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the constitutional courts of both countries.
The formalization of the understanding took place, this Thursday, in Djakarta (Indonesia), at the matgem of an international forum that brings together presidents of constitutional courts.
In a note, the Constitutional Court of Angola added that the agreement establishes “the general lines of cooperation between the two institutions of Constitutional Justice”.
As for the Angolan participation in the international forum of presidents of the constitutional courts, emphasis should be given to the intervention of the counselor judge of the Constitutional Court of Angola.
In her speech, Laurinda Cardoso highlighted the investigation of normative acts by the Legislative Power, as well as the foundations and needs for control instruments.
Regarding the investigation of normative acts of the Legislative Power, he informed the participants that the Angolan legal system enshrines the principle of supremacy of the Constitution.
He referred that the principle of the supremacy of the Constitution justifies that the acts of the State, more specifically those of a normative nature, are subject to supervision by the Constitutional Court.
“The investigation of the acts in question is carried out in the context of abstract supervision, which can be preventive or successive”, he expressed.
On the grounds and need for control instruments, the judge informed that “the constitutional jurisdiction has the role of judging whether or not a certain legislative act of Parliament corresponds to what is called a superior general will”.
The International Forum of Presidents of the Judiciary ends on Friday (11) and is attended by, among others, delegations from Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Namibia, South Africa, Thailand and Turkey.
